    Hi li-zheng,

    Here's a weekly recap of the activity on alphaXiv:

    EVENTS
    ------
    Upcoming
    The Art of Evaluating Research Ideas (https://www.alphaxiv.org/channels/towards-automated-research): Join us for a talk by Chenglei Si from Stanford's NLP group on systematic approaches to research idea evaluation. He'll share insights from a two-year study comparing AI-generated research ideas with expert proposals, exploring both idea assessment and project execution evaluation, plus the potential for AI judges to complement human reviewers.

MiniMax-M1: Scaling Test-Time Compute Efficiently with Lightning  Attention
https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2506.13585
We introduce MiniMax-M1, the world's first open-weight, large-scale
hybrid-attention reasoning model. MiniMax-M1 is powered by a hybrid
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture combined with a lightning attention
mechanism. The model is developed based ...

RLPR: Extrapolating RLVR to General Domains without Verifiers
https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2506.18254
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) demonstrates promising potential in advancing the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. However, its success remains largely confined to mathematical and code domains. This primary limitation stems from...

Data Efficacy for Language Model Training
https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2506.21545
Data is fundamental to the training of language models (LM). Recent research has been dedicated to data efficiency, which aims to maximize performance by selecting a minimal or optimal subset of training data. Techniques such as data filtering, sampl...

Reasoning with Exploration: An Entropy Perspective
https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2506.14758
Balancing exploration and exploitation is a central goal in reinforcement
learning (RL). Despite recent advances in enhancing language model (LM)
reasoning, most methods lean toward exploitation, and increasingly encounter
performance plateaus. In th...
